That’s a neat project.
You can be proud of your work 😊

But I for one won’t donate to your cause, as the software seems to be closed-source, and I already have DuckDuckGo & Google for my searching needs.

I genuinely believe that the only viable niches for new search engines are environmentally-friendly (e.g. Ecosia) or open-source.

Literally no one will pay for a closed-source search engine.

But I like your tech stack, and your project’s looking good.

One more thing: You claim to be against censorship; how will you combat spam & SEO farming?


Their website is slickapp.co (without the m at the end), but their Android package name is com.slickapp.

Isn’t that a bit of an issue?
For example, when handling URLs?



in the interim there’s f-droid.org/en/packages/im.v… but it’s a few versions behind.

Why is the f-droid version behind?

Shouldn’t this be the other way around?

Also: the app has since been reinstated.
